Mrs. Yu felt a little uneasy and looked outside frequently.
"What are you doing?" Yu Chong asked with a frown.
Mrs. Yu whispered: "Qing'er hasn't come back yet."
Yu Chong didn't take it seriously: "She's not a child. There are guards everywhere. Is she still afraid of an accident?"
Today the emperor is traveling and the imperial army is dispatched. The Jinwu Guards are on the outside of the Daguangming Temple and the Dragon Xiang Guards are inside. These are Yu Chong's forces. Of course he is confident.
Mrs. Yu said: "She has a different identity now, and the back house's methods are hard to guard against."
Yu Chong thought about it and realized that this was true. For example, on the Women's Day, Miss Xu San was almost set up by Concubine Shu. If she hadn't been washed downstream by the water, her reputation would have been ruined and she could only withdraw from the capital circle sadly.
.This method cannot be defended by guards, so it is better to be careful.
"Then ask someone to find her..." As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Yu Manqing's personal maid walking in.
"Master, Miss..." She leaned over and whispered a few words.
Yu Chong looked at her suspiciously: "Did the lady really ask you to deliver a message?"
The maid replied: "How could I dare to make my own decisions without the orders of the young lady?"
Mrs. Yu asked: "What happened?"
Yu Chong pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go out for a while."
"Eh..." Mrs. Yu watched him go out.
After leaving the colorful shed, there was no one else around. Yu Chong immediately asked: "What happened? Did the lady say it on her own initiative, or was she hijacked?"
The maid said in confusion: "The palace man called the servant over, and the young lady said it herself."
Even if it is done personally, there is no guarantee that someone is not being hijacked.
Yu Chong had several sons, but he only had one daughter, and the sons were all a little dull, and none of them understood his thoughts as well as Yu Manqing. Moreover, his daughter had an extremely important position in his plan, and nothing could happen to her.
He asked: "Where is the appointment?"
The maid replied: "It's right next to the Jingxin Pavilion."
Yu Chong thought about it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There were imperial guards guarding the Jingxin Pavilion, and he could call people just by shouting. It was not a dangerous place.
Where the opponent chose, it really doesn't sound like a trap.
However, the act of holding Yu Manqing to force him to go to the appointment still made Yu Chong very unhappy.
He motioned to the maid to lead the way, and said: "What the lady said, don't miss a word, tell it in detail."
"yes."
…
In the Jingxin Pavilion, the maids are serving diligently.
Tea, water and snacks were all available, and there was even a basin of ice cubes prepared to prevent her from getting stuffy while sitting.
Yu Manqing slowly shook her fan, thinking that Prince Duan is indeed a careful person, and this meeting is also quite sincere. If there can be a good result, then...
"Why hasn't your master come yet?" she asked.
The maid glanced at the river and said, "I'm afraid I'm tripped by something. Can I go and have a look now?"
Yu Manqing nodded: "My father has always been stubborn, so he only has one chance. If he can't be convinced this time, there will be no next time."
She did not dare to say that in fact, she had deliberately misled her father by asking the maid to deliver the message, making him think that she might be kidnapped.
This was a bit outrageous, and Yu Manqing knew that it would never happen again. If King Duan could not reconcile with his father, there would be no next time.
——This is her ulterior motive, and she will not allow it to happen again.
In the restaurant, Xu Yin saw the maid retreating from the Jingxin Pavilion and made an inconspicuous gesture.
"Get ready," she said softly.
The sharp archer in front of the other window moved at the same time as her, pressing the arrow and clasping the hanging knife with his fingers.
Among the branches and leaves, Yu Chong appeared. Guided by the maid, he slowly walked towards the pavilion.
"Qinger!"
Yu Manqing heard the voice and stood up hurriedly, watching her father coming from the other side with a little nervousness.
"Father."
Yu Chong glanced at him and asked, "Are you not being held hostage?"
Yu Manqing shook his head.
"That……"
"He left just now." Yu Manqing couldn't help but defend herself, "The other party is not considered a threat. It's just that my daughter was thinking about her reputation and was afraid of causing trouble, so she didn't dare to say anything."
After hearing these words, Yu Chong felt relieved and said, "Did King Duan really invite you to come?"
Yu Manqing replied: "The maid who delivered the message told about the enmity between our two families. My daughter expected that Prince Duan's palace would not spread the news because she took it as true."
"What about others?"
"The maid has gone. I thought she couldn't get away for a while, so..."
Yu Chong looked towards the river. At this time, the second round of the dragon boat race was going on. King Duan had finished the first round. He could rest for a while, but...
In the blink of an eye, something suddenly flashed through Yu Chong's mind, and he shouted: "Not good!"
After saying that, he pulled Yu Manqing and walked back.
Yu Manqing was stunned: "Father?"
Yu Chong just thought of one thing. Prince Duan had just finished his limelight. Wouldn't it be too eye-catching to sneak out for a meeting now? The power of this idle prince has never been known to the public. It can be seen that he is good at hiding himself.
You shouldn't choose such an opportunity to meet.
No matter what, avoid it first. Even if you really think too much, it is King Duan who is eager to reconcile, not him!
As soon as the father and daughter stepped out of the Jingxin Pavilion, Xu Yin from the restaurant shouted: "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several crossbow arrows shot out at the same time!
Yu Chong, who has experienced many battles, sensed danger at this moment, pushed Yu Manqing and dodged.
Unfortunately, it was still a little late. Several crossbow arrows flew back and forth, some grazed his arms, some were knocked off by his sleeves, and one pierced his shoulder hard.
"Ah!" Yu Chong pressed his shoulders and shouted, "Here comes someone!"
Unfortunately, it was not the surrounding Forbidden Army that came first, but the next wave of arrows.
The biggest advantage of the crossbow is that it takes a short time to prepare for firing and can fire multiple arrows at the same time.
At this point, Xu Yin didn't care about his accuracy. As long as there were enough arrows and fast enough, no matter how he dodges, he would be dead!
A row of arrows was loaded up quickly. As soon as Yu Chong took two steps, "swish, swish" arrows flew one after another. At first, he dodged several times, but the arrows were too dense, and he was hit by another arrow.
.
"Father!" Yu Manqing was shocked and shouted loudly, but did not dare to rush forward.
Before he finished speaking, the third wave of arrows arrived again. This time Yu Chong failed to get out of the way in time, and an arrow pierced his heart. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
And the surrounding forbidden troops have just rushed over here.
"Miss Third!" Xiao Sang shouted excitedly, "I got it! He got it!"
"Yes." Xu Yin calmly loaded the last row of arrows and added another shot.
Most of the arrows hit Yu Chong. His body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
When the noise started, she calmly released her crossbow: "Let's go!"
